Status Updates From Rules for Perfect Murders (...

My take at this point: Malcolm: Dumba**. (a balaclava? Disgusting. Asking your ex-cop friend to look up information without a reason until you thought it up on the spot? STUPID.) Suspects to the identity of “Charlie”: ANY and EVERYONE.
Nero: A sweet baby kitty witness to a horrible crime 😢

like he deserves death or jail too, don't get me wrong

What is the game plan here?

Listening on audio, at chapter 8. The narrator almost begins speaking to the reader directly, noting different key points of the narrative about how he’s been acting since the FBI agent first approached him. My spidey-sense really started going when he first talked about his wife, her affair and how she died. Now he’s saying he’s really going to tell the truth about her. Very interesting!
